Overkill

A new book-length report is out from the Cato Institute, available in its entirety here. Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America documents the increasingly common activities of the police who have used excessive force (usually in pursuit of non-violent drug offenders) and often damaged the property of--and sometimes killed--innocent people.

Check out this interactive map that documents where many of these raids have taken place (maybe in your neighborhood).
